Astoria is in Queens. Believe it or no, they haven't made it its own borough yet.
I love the city....in small doses.
Agreed.
I couldn’t figure out who to reply to - so you’re it!
I am Manhattan born, Long Island raised (Huntington, Plainview, East Northport) and have lived in Calif. for 45 years. Maryland and New Mexico have ‘hosted’ me also.
Here’s my understanding of ‘Noo Yawkers:’
Rather than rude, they are brusque - often in a great big hurry, but will stop and give you a bit of help.
Lastly - just who are actually New Yorkers, hmmmmm????!
People from all over the world move to Manhattan, and stay a short time, or forever.
So, who can say one is interacting with a ‘real’ New Yorker???!!
